BJP, Congress Brush Off Exit Poll Results, Forward 'Winning' Arguments
Exit polls that predicted a primacy of Congress in Chhattisgarh and Telangana and that of the BJP in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, have been hotly contested by both camps in states they were predicted to lose. While exit polls are known to get it wrong many a time, their predictions proved a touchy topic in this round of elections, seen as the semi-finals before next year's Lok Sabha polls.
While the BJP doubled down on claims that they will win Madhya Pradesh, where many exit polls predicted a close fight, the Congress scoffed at the suggestion...

Origins Of Life On Earth: 4.5 Billion-Year-Old Asteroid Holds Clues
A sample of asteroid dust, dating back to the formation of the solar system, has arrived at the Natural History Museum in London. The dust was collected by NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, which touched down on asteroid Bennu in 2020. Scientists hope to study the dust to learn more about the early history of our solar system.

Oxygen, the invisible elixir of life, is omnipresent on Earth, shaping the very essence of our existence.

When the planet was formed around 4.5 billion years ago, the conditions were vastly different. Carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour were dominant in Earth's atmosphere. And scientists have predicted that in future, Earth's atmosphere will revert to one that's low...
